Baden

The Limmat River defines the setting of Baden — its narrow valley between Jura foothills has long concentrated the town’s streets, rail links and thermal life along the water. Baden’s sulphurous springs were already used in Roman Aquae Helveticae, giving the town a spa identity that continues in its modern bath district. Above the old centre, the ruins of Stein Castle recall the Habsburgs, who held Baden in medieval times; below, bridges over the Limmat link the historic core with newer neighbourhoods. The city also developed as an industrial centre, notably through electrical engineering associated with Brown, Boveri & Cie.
